Hi all, happy Friday! We're just a week away from the Thanksgiving break. Hopefully you've stayed warm this week!
Thank you so much, food and coat donation volunteers!! You have no idea how helpful you were! Commons Lost & Found: the unlabeled jackets and water bottles are multiplying! Please write your kiddo's name on these items, and encourage your kiddo to look for their stuff! Missing items usually congregate on the table outside Ms. Cotten's room. Math Tutoring: We've had a huge turnout these last few weeks -- 40-50 kids each session! We're glad so many kiddos are coming; we've adjusted our formatting a bit, and will no longer devote any tutoring time to homework completion. Mr. Mayer's Tuesday study hall from 3-4pm is for all subject areas (both trios), and is a great place to get work done. We are focusing more on diving deeper into the content, and as you can imagine with so many students every second counts. It's also so important that your kiddo comes to tutoring ready to work and engage in the lesson. Students who need consistent reminders to stay focused will be asked not to return as just a few can really impact the group "vibe" and ability to keep things moving forward. ***Thank you so much for the snacks, they're much appreciated! Science Fair: Science Fair tri-fold boards will be provided by the school. They should arrive before we leave for the Thanksgiving break. Make sure that your child’s science teacher has approved their science fair experimental question or engineering design goal. Remember, their projects are due January 13th. Science After School Clubs: The last day of the first session for both Water Bear Club and Animal Lovers Club was this week. The first session has now ended. The next session starts when we return from Thanksgiving. If you would like to sign up for the next session, please fill out this google form: https://forms.gle/ZaJiHgp21JxJVWGM7 Also, in both clubs, students designed t-shirts that are for sale.

This field trip will complement our reading of the The Children of Willesden Lane, a story of hope and survival during WWII. Students will have the opportunity to hear a concert and presentation from the book’s author. Buses will depart from Hill at 9:00 and we will be back in time for lunch, so no need to pack sack lunches. The same performance will be available for entire families to view free of charge on the evening of November 19th at 7:30. If interested in attending as a family, please register for tickets at the following site: https://support.adl.org/event/austin-the-children-of-willesden-lane/e230170 Thanks for reading, and have a great weekend! ~5th Grade Team
